Hi stoic,
have you tried 'conventional milling verses climb milling' in a machine with significant backlash?
The old Bridgeport copy at work has 0.2 inch backlash in X. If you try climb milling you will break something....I've done it myself and watched and tried to warn
a workmate from the same trap to no avail...he broke a new 16mm High Speed Steel tool, and that takes quite a bit of doing!
The only software that is going to help with backlash is the stuff that starts: 'Dear God'.... and ends in 'Amen'
